Kilts on Jury Duty...

[MacMullen]

I've never been asked for jury duty, but reading this i can't help feeling sad that we have gotten to the point where Godfearing men are not considered desireable for such an important duty. (if I understand the post correctly).

sick world..

Yes, Graham, your understanding was correct. They weren't asking me, they were asking the panel, and no one raised their hand. In fact, that was the very last question before they swore the jury in. The Judge even asked the Prosecutor if he had any other questions and he said that, no, he was satisfied. From that, I'm sure that the Defense would have excluded me if I had been chosen and they had asked my occupation.

I never did hear how the trial turned out.

As far as the makeup of the jury, there were a few middle aged women, a couple of younger women, a couple of older retired guys, and a few of local businessmen or salesmen, so I thought it represented a pretty good cross section of our local population. I was surprised to see so many turn out for jury duty.
